Best NFL Futures 2026: Win Totals, Division Winners And A Super Bowl Exacta
CJ Sullivan spends this one hunting the best NFL futures 2026 has on the board. And he brings backup. Comedian Kevin Bozeman calls in from Las Vegas, two days into a seven-day stand-up run. So the episode doubles as a simulcast of Bottom Line Bombs and Bozeman’s own show. The format is simple. Each man brings his five favorite win total bets. Then they argue about the overlaps and empty the rest of the futures card before Week 1 locks in.
First comes the countdown. Kevin opens with the Cardinals over 3.5 wins at minus 130. Yes, that number is real. Arizona won three games last year and cut Kyler Murray. But Marvin Harrison Jr., Trey McBride and James Conner should stumble into four wins somewhere. From there Kevin plants his flags. He takes the Bills over 10.5 behind Josh Allen and a sneaky Saints over 7.5 with rookie Tyler Shough. His number one lock is the Vikings over 8.5 on the strength of the Flores defense. CJ hears that one and nearly falls out of his chair. He would want the number at 7.5 before he touched it.
CJ works the other side of the counter. He bombs the Titans under 6.5, because Cam Ward has looked lost all preseason. An 0-6 run through the division is on the table. Then he stacks the Giants and Commanders unders at 7.5 and calls Washington’s offense inoperable. Also getting bombed: the Falcons under 7.5 while the Penix and Cousins mess sorts itself out. His overs run the other way. First the Texans at 9.5, riding a defense that closed last season on a nine game heater. Then the Eagles at 10.5, since Philly has won at least 11 games four straight years.
Then the card opens up. Kevin takes the Lions at plus 160 in the NFC North, plus the Ravens and the Bills in their divisions. He will not touch the AFC West at any price. CJ counters with the Buccaneers at plus 180 to win the NFC South. He also likes the Bengals in the AFC North now that a motivated Dexter Lawrence anchors that defense. Kevin’s props round out the ticket. He has Daniel Jones over 10.5 interceptions, Caleb Williams over 3,600 passing yards, Bucky Irving over 900 rushing yards, and Jameson Williams over 5.5 touchdowns.
Bozeman also shows his actual Week 1 Vegas tickets. He likes Justin Jefferson anytime touchdown at plus 160 and Jahmyr Gibbs over 94 rushing yards. Then the guys resurrect their old Starting Five bit for one week only. The board: Steelers minus 3.5, Texans over the Bills, Vikings over the Packers, Jaguars over the Browns, and Tampa Bay plus 4 in Cincinnati. CJ also lays the 3 with Seattle at home against the Patriots, since Seattle’s home field is worth four and the book is only charging three.
So the awards card gets its turn too. CJ rides Joe Burrow as his chalk MVP at 10 to 1. He sprinkles Jared Goff at 28 to 1 and Jalen Hurts at 33 to 1. He grabs Lane Johnson for Protector of the Year at 18 to 1 in his farewell season. And he throws a flier on Chiefs rookie R Mason Thomas for Defensive Rookie of the Year at 100 to 1. Meanwhile Kevin admits he sprinkled Gibbs for MVP at 120 to 1. CJ tells him the league will never hand that trophy to a running back again.
Finally CJ swings big with a Super Bowl exacta, Texans against Eagles. Eagles over Texans pays 190 to 1 and the reverse pays 200 to 1. Then the Man in the Box closes the show the way only CJ can. Bozeman gets a preview of exactly what he signed up for. Football is back and the futures card is live. Also, the FreeRoll Football Contest runs all season at sportsgamblingpodcast.com/freeroll with three grand up for grabs.
